The number of nominations varies in each category because some categories have many more films. For instance, genres like thrillers have fewer films, so Nordic and international films are combined into one category. The award ceremony will take place on May 12th from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, followed by photography and mingling. We’ll provide updates on May 1st regarding the event on May 11th and 12th.

 

This year, diplomas will be handed out, this because Västerås Film Festival takes a new direction as Genre film festival and new statuettes will be constructed for the future. Winners will receive a diploma at the festival or have it sent to them.
